mini chocolate pecan pies.

A bitesize treat for the Thanksgiving season - teeny, tiny chocolate pecan pies. These mini morsels are made up of dark chocolate pastry, a sweet sticky filling, whipped cream and topped with a caramelised pecan and dark chocolate shavings.

With match.com hosting their Short & Sweet Thanksgiving Speed Dating Event this Thursday 26th, I was tasked with creating a tiny dessert for their American themed menu. Budding love birds will be able to enjoy speed dating over dessert with the likes of New York Cheesecake, Pumpkin Pie along with my sweet recipe too! If you aren't heading the even but fancy a try anyway, here's the pecan pie recipe for you to feast your eyes on...

Step seven.Whisk up your double cream until it thickens. Fill up a piping bag with star nozzle. Keep in the fridge until ready.

Step eight. When completely cool, pipe a swirl of cream on top of the pie and finish with a toasted pecan and grated chocolate.

There you have it! And if you happen to be off to the event this Thursday, I really do hope you enjoy my pecan pies. Oh and that you find the man or woman of your dreams too of course...Happy Thanksgiving! Last year I posted a rather indulgent four mac and cheese recipe!Have you ever made pecan pies? Or any other Thanksgiving recipes?Post in collaboration with match.com. All recipe and photographs are my own.
